Lot 149
A WW2 era, German M42 model helmet, possibly for the Luftwaffe. Marked with 2 code stamps; 0717 for the heating lot number (to the back skirt) and NS64 (to the left skirt), which represents the manufacturer Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke factory in Schwerte, North Rhine-Westphalia. Of standard form, with the ‘raw edge’ on the shell, seen from 1942 through till the end of WW2. This would be an early production helmet, as from early 1943 both the lot number and manufacturer number were stamped to the back skirt. No decal applied to the left side, but there is perhaps some slight evidence of there once having been a luftwaffe eagle - you can observe an outline to the metal that matches the shaped of the standard luftwaffe decal. Part pigskin liner still present, attached to the zinc liner band. An ink stamp to the inside of the liner appears to read ‘B 57’. The original wearers name is also handwritten to the lining, but this is difficult to discern. A further oval ink stamp is marked to the inside of the dome of the helmet. Condition: the helmet shell is generally sound, with no dents or cracks. Some very light surface corrosion in a few places, to both the inside and outside. As per the above description and images, the liner is only partially present, with the front portion seemingly having been cut neatly away at some point in the past. The helmet is also minus its chinstrap.
Lot 377

Both the pommel and throat area of the scabbard bear the matched number ‘91’. 2 brass rivets to the wooden handle, along with oil hole. The pommel is marked ‘N’ which would possibly indicate naval issue. Complete with leather scabbard, with steel throat and chape. Approximately 44cm length in scabbard, blade length 30.4cm. Condition: generally good. Clean blade with minor darkening in places. Minor contact knock to wooden handle, but otherwise complete. Split to the leather near the chape, but this doesn’t extend around the full circumference.

The eagle and swastika have some light brown staining in places. The is some normal light age and service related wear to the nap of the cloth, but no apparent moth holes. The rayon lining has some normal sweat staining to the edge. Overall, a good example of its type.

Lot 148
A fine quality, WW2 era private purchase Luftwaffe Officer’s visor cap, by Erel of Berlin. Manufactured by Robert Lubstein, and stamped ‘EREL PATENT STIRNSCHUTZ’ to the leather sweatband. To the underside of the sweatband there is also a date stamp of ‘18 MAI 1944’, and a size of 59 1/2. The cap is of traditional saddle shape, with silver piping, bullion quality Luftwaffe eagle, and winged oak leaves, with a metal cockade to the centre. Grey wool fabric construction, with mustard coloured silk. Celluloid diamond shaped panel stitched to the lining, but no visible makers details. Complete with cap cord, attached at east/west positions. Provence: acquired by the vendor’s father, while he served with the Royal Engineers during WW2. The serviceman was on bridge repair duties, south of Hanover, and discovered the abandoned former Glider School camp, Schafoldendorf while in the area. 2 photographs taken by the soldier (and dated July 1945), and included with the cap, show some wall paintings from the camp, with notes to the reverse side. Schafoldendorf later went on to become an RAF base. Condition: generally sound, with a little service and age wear. Small moth hole to the crown, plus a couple of ‘pin head’ sized moth nips. The cap is slightly out of round, likely from a long period of storage, and looks a little squashed to the north/south sides. The crown also has a little water staining to left hand side when looked at from above, which has given the surface a very slight brown tinge. Insignia is good, as is the cap cord and piping. The lining shows some age related brown staining, and normal staining to the leather sweatband. Slight stitching fault where the peak attaches to the body of the cap.

Couaillet Freres are discussed by Leigh Extence in his article The Carriage Clock Makers of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont published in National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Bulletin, 2020; where they are described as being one of the most prolific of the carriage clock makers of carriage clocks operating from the horological town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont (near Dieppe) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1885 Armand Couaillet was employed by the prominent maker Albert Villon, but in 1892 he and his brothers Denis and Ernest set up their own workshops in the centre of the town as Couaillet freres. They increased the size of the concern when buying the house and workshops of Delépine-Barrois across the road in 1912. Condition Report: The first (larger of the two) is in working condition and appears all-original with no noticeable replacements. The movement however would benefit from a clean and overhaul. The dial has a light hairline crack across the lower left corner and another across the right which is not visible due to being behind the frame, otherwise appears to be in good original condition. The case is a little dull/tarnished but is free from visible faults including the glasses. The second is also in good original working condition. The dial is undamaged - there are traces of a retailer's signature on the chapter ring. The case is in very good condition with no visible damage; the gilding has overall patchy oxidation.There is one key with the lot (fits both) but no travelling cases. Condition Report Disclaimer
